There’s no denying, your railway is for real, it’s magic! ❤

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀

[@rossmorrow3013]

What wonderful idea!!
Mixing your works of art and the old films :-) A truly unique idea!
Well done Santa Mouldy!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Cheers Ross!

[@ChobertonJunction]

Wow! I loved the old footage and great that you have been able to represent that on your layout. Glorious images and glorious scaled down version.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 😀

[@jappedut9009]

Really nice to see a double header both live and in model excellent job ❤❤❤

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you very much!

[@robertbate5790]

Brilliant !!! Beautifully done. The only thing missing was the lineside throngs !!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Yes very true!

[@akrills]

Excellent idea, pulled off with tremendous aplomb! Would be a great storyline for the old layout, too!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks - I think so too!

[@hermitageroad4713]

Great video I travelled that line many times as a child

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@robwooding5046]

Hi Lewis the old Slow and Dirty (S&D)lives again great recreation real understanding of train workings liked the banking duties not often seen in modelling I could almost smell it well done a pleasure to watch.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Rob! 👍🏻

[@eddyweller4503]

Nice one Lewis loved the comparison. Those double headers looked great, nice bit of nostalgia recreation. Thanks Eddyxx

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Eddy, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@michaelkoppen3263]

High class video again Lewis ,thank you for sharing your magical railway .

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Michael!

[@davidmathie9512]

Absolutely love it .Bet the sad rivet counters are crying at the S&D on a Midland based layout .Fantastic idea .

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks David. For some reason that makes me enjoy it more 🤣

[@greatnorthernrailwaytother4711]

Great viewing. Well done. Thanks Peter.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Peter 👍🏻

[@jamestailyour7348]

Lewis, If only you too had smoke from your engines. Loved the recreation of the originals on your home line. Very original.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks James!

[@westhavengwr4613]

Lovely video. The S&D was a very interesting railway route. There are five locos in S&D livery running on Westhaven as it’s worth preserving the memories.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@phil36310]

Excellent idea and realization Lewis ! It shows what you can do with with a smaller sized layout and still make perfect video's sound synchronized. Well done !! Cheers, Filip

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Filip!

[@stevenperry7493]

Wow Lewis this is a great video ,starting of with couple & their tent ,coupled to model then film clips of the S&D & your superb layout .,that was very enjoyable .😊😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Steve!

[@ex48bw]

You must have had some fun putting those double-headers together!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I did!

[@ronnronn55]

Well done again. Love the run with the pusher engine. Ronn

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Ronn 👍🏻

[@AmbroseB1900]

As an S & D fan I enjoyed the replication especially double heading and banking, I do the same on my layout. Also appreciated the scale speeds; the ruling gradient on the S & D was 1 in 50, so even double headers were slow by the top of the banks. Great video!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you, glad you liked it!

[@smokeless7774]

Brilliant! Memories of my old patch. Better put a 2P and 7F on your Christmas list.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Haha good idea 😬

[@railway187]

Model train movies with added sounds are great 👍 Great video!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 😀

[@markshrimpton3138]

At the end of a wearisome week there’s nowt better than chuffing back in time with The Yorkshire Dales Model Railway.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Mark glad you liked it 👍🏻

[@markshrimpton3138]

@@MouldyRaspberry I always do. As a teenager I lived in the village of Redmire with the Wensleydale Railway right above our house. In those days it operated just as a goods line.

[@GWRFan281]

Nicely done, can't beat the Somerset and Dorset theme.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@simonwaldock9689]

I like the format of live action recreated on your model. I hope you make more in this style.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, I will 😬

[@cameronpatterson1045]

Hi Lewis from Glasgow another great video 📹 from you young man great work thanks again for the video 📹

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Cameron 👍🏻

[@CDBC]

That took me back! I was born in 1955 and got into train spotting in the early 60's. And for a time, we lived at Oxenholme house, which was of course a main line and it was amazing to see both Steam and Diesel rocketing through with a dozen coaches ready for the climb up Shap Fell.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Wow what a spot! Bet they’re great memories.

[@daviemaclean61]

Seamless! ;-) Bravo - brilliant mix of footage. Cheers

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Davie 👍🏻

[@TerryMcGearyScotland]

Brilliant and great sound ! I was confused at first with the mix of real and miniature 😂

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you liked it!👍🏻

[@stephensheritagerailwaythe8776]

Love it great video mate love the mix between real engines and your stock

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RobA500]

That was some nice old archive footage and mixed well with your layout shots.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Rob 👍🏻

[@PeachyTT120]

Love the flip flop footage.

[@MrVinnyh]

I like the idea of real & modeled interaction Lewis Brilliant!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks!

[@user-yp5lq5us2y]

Hi Lewis, what a great video. The combination of real trains and your interpuration of them on you layout was stunning. Congrats. Cheers Greg

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Glad you enjoyed it Greg, thanks!

[@stephendavies6949]

Nice interweaving of real and model footage. Very impressive.
The first train - both in reality and mdeol form - was super-powered! A rail tour, perhaps?
Great scene at 2.23. Have we seen that angle before?
It never ceases to amaze me how close to the action onlookers could get back in the day (eg, at 3.41).

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thank you, appreciate it!

[@stevenkarnisky411]

I was born during the steep decline of mainline US steam. I was really too young to notice, and had no adults who were knowledgeable. I used to beg adults to take me to watch trains, and sometimes they did, but I didn't really know what I was fascinated by.
Britain has saved a lot of steam. Not so much in America. Especially mainline steam. There is a rumour that a few New York Central employees tried to hide a few Niagara and Mohawk locomotives in a yard in Buffalo, NY. Their ploy was discovered, and the locos were scrapped! (On the other hand, we have preserved several battleships, while you folks have none. I guess a matter of who has cash at the precise moment, and what are their priorities.)
You have done well, Lewis, as always!

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Steven, always appreciate it. Damn what a shame they didn’t get away with that!!! That would have been a great story.
We have a few, like HMS Victory, HMS Warrior, HMS Belfast etc, but I’m sure you guys have way more. We were probably too broke after WW2 to consider saving any more…

[@johnbrown9092]

Nicely done Mr Mouldy. Good combinations all round😊

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks John!

[@colwichjunction3366]

One word….Superb!
If I had a time machine the S&D would be near the top of the list for a visit, what you have created there is fantastic.
I’m not a fan of Hornby, but the 9F really is a stunning model👍
Thanks for that vid

Nice idea this.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks, glad you liked it 👍🏻

[@jacqueso8424]

Now that surely was a superb mix of history of the area and your layout with trains in those times, 1950s to maybe mid 60s?. In one portion the actual train went over viaduct bridge, but your model consist hasnt as your viaduct is on the Ponden and Buckdale junction. Maybe small oversight😂? Otherwise splendid railaction on the layout again.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Yeah I don’t have many opportunities to film on that layout these days.

[@Chimla]

I would really love to see you weather and run the rapido 15xx on this layout.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

I’ll have a look at those 👍🏻

[@aegidiusandernach]

Ein sehr schönes Video. Danke

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Danke!

[@stretchedits]

Hi Lewis, I love the mix of old film and your take on the same train. Did you ever see the Ivo Peters Somerset and Dorset films, which I think your BBC clips might be originally from.............I had them on VHS Video but can't play them any more, I must find them on DVD they were really brilliant. There was also a great book of Fireman tales by Pete Smith who fired on the S & D, with legendry driver Donald Beal, which is a great read if you ever find a copy and are interested in that kind of book. I like how you show your through trains running into the station at speed...............I cringe every time knowing there are buffer stops just out of the shot! Anyway, great stuff, all the best Dave.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks Dave, appreciate it. I’ll see if I can get a copy of them, and that book as well! Sounds interesting.

[@CrashNBang4x4]

Awesome :p

Thanks 😆

[@Pjs75]

Hi Lewis, an excellent edition featuring some S&D workings transposed to your layout. Loved the reflections with grained monochrome film.
Have you, by chance seen another layout (larger scale, though) youtube.com/@bathgreenpark2485 ? that does some great recreations inspired by the long lamented loss of the S&D, that itself, was frequently filmed by Ivo Peters BEM (29 July 1915 - 7 June 1989), as well as other enthusiasts.
My parents lived in Bath around the time of the closure - though I visited with my laundry {stored in my motorcycle panniers!}.
I remember the steamers crossing the overbridge at East Twerton, Bath crossing Lower Bristol Road where the S&D started the climb towards the twin tunnels separating Lyncombe Vale (that you featured in a couple of clips).

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! Yes I have seen that layout, it’s really impressive. Especially all the O gauge stock which I guess must be kit built. Wow I’d love to go back in time and spend a day on the line. As you say, at least Ivo Peters thought to film it!

[@_RandomPea]

Hey Lewis, thanks for that, some great clips aswell for something different. Liked that. On the box cars etc, what colour red is that?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks! I think it’s called BR Bauxite?

[@amazoniaamazonia7225]

Very good, you must be itching to try some of those new steam generators. Most of the archive film would be accredited to the late Ivor Peters. The 37 is a bit out of place.

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Thanks - yes, I am!

[@user-sv4pj5jl8n]

Lewis, the video certainly is serene and delightful. BTW what make was you 4F?

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Hi Lewis, starting to video my layout. Where can I get train sounds from ???? Cheers

[@MouldyRaspberry]

Mine are things I’ve recorded at heritage railways. If you’ve got any videos you’ve taken you could use the audio from that?
